HAPPINESS

Melanie Rawlings had posted a comment in my post on happiness in my previous blog LIFE IN MOTION. That was something different from what we normally think. It was a quote from OSHO.Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the same because it is in my earlier blog and I cannot access it.

Melanie is an amazing painter with excellent qualities of the head and heart.She participated in a charity competition to help victims of Haiti.Three of her paintings have been sold and the proceeds will go to help the suffering people of Haiti.

Please visit her and I am sure you will become life long friends.

What will make you happy? (Please click on the photos for a larger view.)

Owning this luxury liner or going for a cruise to distant lands.Living in a palatial house with plenty of servants,fleet of cars,all luxuries and comforts.Praying in a Church,Temple,Mosque,Synagogue or any other place of worship.Giving alms to a beggar.Swimming in the cool waters of the sea on a warm summer evening.Buying a gift for your girl friend.Watching your children play and enjoy themselves.Watching the bird waiting patiently for a catch as the sun is setting over the horizonLiving with your better half till a ripe old age and enjoying quiet moments together

loved the last piC...Its an epitome of peace...peace that the wealth of love showers upon us...peace that the biggest treasure cannot give...peace that togetherness can provide forever..Lovely pics, thanks a lot for sharing!

Sorry about the old blog, but I am now following this one. Maybe you will eventually be able to get into the old one-- there is some wonderful stuff on that one.I think all of those that you mention can certainly contribute to our feeling good and our enjoyment of life. Cumulatively they may bring us closer to something like happiness, but ultimately happiness comes from within. If we are not happy inside and if we do not chose to be happy, then no amount of worldly things or experiences will make us happy.

Things that make me happy is praying in a temple, watching children play oblivious of the world beyond the playground, wishes of living with my life partner until a ripe old age and spending evenings on the sea shore.

Oh this is good too! Wonderful insights to start with --- typically you. :-) Well among other things too, I'd say am happy now sitting at the computer typing a message to you while a nice cool wind blows outside my window.. rustling the leaves atop swaying branches, easing the heat of the noonday sun. Feels so good and blessed to be in this moment. :-)

Hi Joseph! :)I know all about the technical problems, lol...glad I found you again! When I looked last week, I couldn't even access this blog! I think what makes me happy is something new every day. Watching my pugs sleep, not feeling anxious or angry...figuring things out. Nature is always good therapy for me too!
